The pressure must be mounting on Ange Postecoglou following Tottenham Hotspur’s midweek defeat against Arsenal in the North London derby. They have dropped to 14th spot in the Premier League standings and a setback against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon could further jeopardize Postecoglou’s future as the Spurs chief.

Tottenham grabbed a commanding 4-0 win when they hosted the Toffees in the early weeks of the 2024-25 season. However, several injury woes and the Aussie boss’s lack of adaptability led to a downfall in recent months. The Toffees, battling for survival yet again, have brought David Moyes back as Sean Dyche’s successor. The Scotsman is now desperate to turn things around despite a defeat against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

Predicted 4-3-3 Tottenham Hotspur Lineup To Face Everton

Defence

The absence of Guglielmo Vicario is a significant blow for the Lilywhites who roped in Antonín Kinský earlier this window. The young Czech custodian, known for his ball-playing ability, is expected to keep his place ahead of Brandon Austin. Fraser Forster is a doubt due to illness and Kinský, therefore, must exhibit more composure between the sticks after a nervy outing against the Gunners.

Pedro Porro has been consistent down the right as he has balanced his game between defence and attack. Long-term Injuries to Cristian Romero, Ben Davies and Micky van de Ven have left the Aussie gaffer with Radu Drăgușin as the only senior centre-half available for selection. Teenage sensation Archie Gray has been exquisite in the heart of the backline, also, a hamstring injury has ruled Destiny Udogie out thus allowing Djed Spence to feature as a left fullback over Sergio Reguilón.

Midfield

While Rodrigo Bentancur remains sidelined following a head injury sustained against Liverpool in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal, Yves Bissouma must step up and deliver as the deep-lying playmaker. Pape Sarr should showcase his box-to-box traits, and so is 18-year-old Lucas Bergvill, who has impressed with his passion, energy and skillset. James Maddison could be introduced as a second-half substitute similar to the Emirates clash.

Attack

Despite the absence of Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner, Tottenham have depth and flexibility high up the pitch. Dominic Solanke should get the nod over Richarlison to spearhead the attack, but the mediocrity of skipper Son Heung-min has been a concern for the Lilywhites down the left-hand flank. Dejan Kulusevski has made an impact from the right, and it is high time for the South Korean veteran to exhibit his excellence in and around the attacking third. Brennan Johnson could also be involved as a ‘super sub’ along with Maddison and Richarlison.
